Flavor Anomaly

Part 1 Meeting

"Relange ... Tomorrow I go to Bandung. We'll meet up, yuk."

"Seriously, Mba? Whynot? Don't you want to see me, yeah. Wow, really sweet using nyamperin I came all the way here. Oh, wow."

"That's a big pede? I have a job in Bandung 4 months that's."

"Oh that. Sok. Kabarin. Let me pick it up. By train or bus?"

"The plan is to take the train. I'll tell you again tomorrow, yeah. Already ah. I'm sleepy. Going to sleep."

"Yes. There. Uh. Don't want me to be a kelonin again? Oh, wow."

"Hm? Ngarep you!"

"Kan nawarin. That time, I wanted to hug. Yes, I slept. Tomorrow's misfortune. Bye."

Angga is one of the friends of cyberspace that I have known for a year. We met on one of the cyber forums and managed to get into a group of whattsapps together. Not only with him, but I already know almost all the members in the group.

I am a closed one. While he is a person who is super cute and super chatty. Even he often cheats on me in group chats and our private chats. That's why I'm more familiar with him. And tomorrow, I'm going to Bandung for a job.

"Nov, is the road yet? I'm on the train."

"Well, I'm still packing, Cha. My flight schedule is also late tonight. I think you'll arrive first."

"Well.how dong."

"Go to our mess house. I'll give you the number of the person in charge over there, yeah."

"Yes, that's it."

The train arrived at Bandung station. Scroll the clock on my left wrist while sweeping around. The wind felt different. Maybe it was just my feeling.

Where's the Angga, anyway?

Kuraih device in totebag apparently there is 1 missed call from Angga. I pressed the button to contact him.

"Ngga ...?"

"Yes, mba? We arrived, huh? Bentar, yes. My motorcycle tyre deflated. I'm in this workshop again. Decket it."

"Oh, that's okay. I'll wait in front."

"OKAY. Sip."

I look for a way out. Looking at the board that says 'get out' I pulled the suitcase looking for my destination. I saw several passengers who had been with me, also walking in the same direction. I don't think I went the wrong way. While my right hand was busy scrooling the device, replying to some messages from friends. Contact the owner of the house we will be staying in for the next 4 months.

Long time in Bandung, Cha?

Well, I'd like to pinch your jacket. You even left.

Cha, don't forget about it.

Chaaaa .. guy Bandung cute. Pepet!

Such were some of their comments when I uploaded a picture of me on the train. Little narcissistic. Well, that's how I am.

The long brown chair at the end of it is my goal now. Since I thought Angga would be coming for a long time, I decided to buy some snacks to keep me company waiting. Because waiting is boring.

Chae ... I'm sorry. Pleases. So my Ocha again, yeah. Give me another chance.

A message came in. And instantly make me sick. Immediately I blocked the number and put the device into the totebag again.

"Basic crazy!" my curse, ripping a rough wrap of cheese jam bread and biting with a big cut. Between hunger and anger into one. That one man always makes my mood break.

Now my netra is staring around. Only now I focus on seeing the atmosphere in the city of Bandung. I was busy with my own activities. Gawai is indeed something that I can not avoid for a minute. But because of the message just now, it felt like I was reluctant to touch that flat object first. I am addicted to gadgets. That's how I communicate with the outside world.

The atmosphere of Bandung is quite crowded at this time. Ah, no. It's the station I see now. I don't think Linda's words are entirely true. Not all Bandung men are handsome. Some of them look very messy. With long hair, and dark skin due to sun exposure. And damn, he's looking at me right now.

Getting anxious. I'll take my salary. And send a message to Angga. However, I did not have time to type a message, the wind hit my face. I felt someone sitting on the side.

"Where are you going, tea?" Ask someone in a slightly flattering voice. When I glanced, it was apparently the man. He's really reckless. I moved to sit further. I swept my eyes around, hoping that someone would help me apart from this freak. Merely, some of the people pacing back and forth in front of me were extremely apathetic.

"Again wait, my friend, Mas" I said indifferently. Not even looking at him. I kept looking for someone I knew. I hope he comes soon and I have a reason to leave

"Oh not Bandung, huh? Where did it come from?" He moved back, shifting his body closer to me.

That's when I got up and packed things. As I was leaving, he blocked my path. " Let Aa take it. There's a vehicle in front. Yuk!" Take it a little pushy, trying to grab my hand but I pushed it rough.

"Don't be rude, yeah! I don't want to!"

"Aa just take it. Let it be safer, thugs here ..." he had not been able to continue his sentence, suddenly he staggered backwards because of someone's punch.

"Sia keg calutak nying! Ieu kabogoh!"

*You are not insolent! This is my girlfriend!

This tall man in front of me immediately pulled out a hand, and took my suitcase with me away. He's Angga.

"Catsau, Mba. Longtime. Just got over the thing. It's all right, right?" Ask Angga, but did not stop his steps. Keep walking towards the parking lot. He didn't even look at me. I'm silent. Keep staring down. Realizing my strange attitude, he stopped. Then staring.

"Mba? Why?"

I keep my head down. Angga grabbed the tip of my chin with his index finger and thumb.

" umba? It's okay, right?"

I slowly ventured to look at him. Dahiny furrowed, the look in her eyes sharply continued to follow the movements of my eyes. He seemed worried to see me who kept quiet.

"Ngga .. I'm afraid. She ... she ..." I don't know when my body shook. A person's shadow suddenly appeared at the same time at this moment. It wasn't the guy who scared me, it was just that the past was coming back. Evidently. Very plainly.

Angga pulled my body in his arms. "That's okay, isn't it? Relaxed. There I am too," she hugged my body tightly, while stroking my back gently.

______

"This is the address? Sure you, mba?" Ask Angga. Stopped his iron horse suddenly when I showed him a piece of paper containing the address of my mess place while here.

"Yes. Bener. Why why?"

"Kayak's no stranger, huh?" He murmured with a question that seemed to be aimed at himself.

I looked up from the right side of his head. It looks like Angga continues to stare at the paper while continuing to remember something.

"****! Wait a minute! Where do you work, anyway?" He asked and looked back with a shocked face mixed in confusion.

"PT Makmur Sentosa Industrial. Why?" I asked with a plain look.

"Huh?! Seriously?"

"Why then?"

"That's where I work too times, mba!"

"Huh? How did you not say anything from yesterday?"

"Well, you don't!"

"It's true too." Kugaruk head that is definitely not itchy while holding back laughter with the look of a shocked face mixed with confusion.

The world is narrow. Even narrower than you think. It is only the hand of God that narrows distance and time.
